Philodendron Congo Constellation

Philodendron Congo Constellation

Commonly Known As:

Congo Constellation,
Variegated Congo Philodendron,
Philodendron Congo

Native to tropical South America through its parent lineage, Philodendron Congo Constellation is a variegated self-heading philodendron known for its broad glossy leaves and creamy constellated markings. Unlike climbing philodendrons, this variety grows upright from a central base, giving it a fuller and more architectural form. Its marbled foliage brings bright contrast to the deep green leaves, making each plant look slightly different as it matures. With its strong structure and patterned foliage, Philodendron Congo Constellation offers a more sculptural take on the classic Congo type.

light
Philodendron Congo Constellation thrives in bright, indirect light. Place it near a bright window where it can receive filtered light without prolonged harsh direct sun.
water
Water your plant regularly, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy, and avoid letting the pot sit in excess water
temperature
Philodendron Congo Constellation prefers warm temperatures between 65°F to 85°F (18°C to 29°C). Protect it from cold conditions and keep it away from drafts or sudden temperature changes.
fertilizer
Feed your Philodendron Congo Constellation with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half-strength once a month during the growing season. Do not fertilize as often during the slower growing period in winter.
